Lyrics
How We Breathe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's how we breathe underwater.
Kick it right out of frame.
Does it matter?
Here where we drive into the same old park.
Here we'll be so insistent.
Off the mark.
(repeat)
Wanna lay on your ground.
Wanna breathe in your atmosphere.
It's how we breathe underwater.
Kick it right out of frame.
Does it matter?
Here where we tremble at the same old thought.
Here when our legs give out and we get caught.
Here when the stations turn to short you out.
Here when the places turn till you pass out.
Wanna lay on your ground.
Wanna breathe in your atmosphere.
Straighten your back.
I wanna know that there's something there
Overneath.
I wanna leave in your head.
(backing vocals:
Guarded in my head for you
I can't get rid of these secrets)
